UACC AD 2.22 Flight Procedures

1. General

RWY 04/22 approved for CAT II and CAT IIIA operations.

2. Low Visibility Procedures during CAT II operations.

Low Visibility Procedures (LVP) are initiated at Astana aerodrome:

during CAT II and CAT IIIA approaches when RVR is less than 550 m;
during take-off, when RVR is less than 550 m. The status of LVP is reported through ATIS or the broadcast of RTF with the following phrase: “LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES IN OPERATION”

The controller shall verify that ILS sensitive area is clear of known traffic before Aircraft reaches 15 km distance from touchdown point.

During approach, the controller informs pilots of:

unserviceability or downgrading of aids or facilities;
change of surface wind;
change of RVR;
change of cloud base (vertical visibility).

A-SMGCS on SMR, SSR and ADS-B base supports ground movement operations based on established operational procedures.

3. Arriving Aircraft

The report on the vacation of the runway is made on the TWY only after the release of the ILS critical zones. Taxiing on the taxiways is carried out by the TWY centerline lights before coupling with the apron. Taxiing on the apron is allowed only behind the follow me car. Parking of the aircraft in the stands is carried out according to the signals of the ground personnel.

Taxing via TWY shall be carried out along TWY centerlines lights until junction with apron. It is permitted to taxi on the apron only under guidance of a “follow-me” car. Parking to the stands is assisted by a marshaller.

4. Departing Aircraft

Aircraft taxiing for take-off from the aircraft stands to the TWY are accompanied by the follow me car. Taxiing on the taxiway is carried out by the TWY centerline lights to the runway holding positions. At the runway holding positions, the aircraft must stop in front of an aerodrome sign of the critical zone (Runway designation of both extremities of the runway on a red background and the designation of the TWY on a black background).

5. VFR procedures within the aerodrome control zone (CTR)

Flights within the control zone are conducted at an absolute altitude of no less than 1700 feet, unless otherwise instructed by the controller of the "Radar" ATC unit. Absolute flight altitudes are assigned by the controller of the "Radar" ATC unit without considering obstacles. Crews of aircraft independently perform the avoidance of obstacles. Within the control zone, flights over populated, prohibited, restricted, and dangerous areas are tobe avoided. For VFR flights of aircraft with certificated take-off mass of up to 5700 kg and helicopters flying at speeds of no more than 140 knots, at Astana aerodrome the flight circuit is established for Runway 22 (left)and Runway 04 (right) at an altitude of 2000 feet. The width of the rectangular flight path is 3 nautical miles.The controller of the "Radar" ATC unit determines and communicates the utilized traffic circuit to the aircraft crew. Entering the traffic circuit, crossing the runway alignment is made only with the permission of the air traffic controller of the "Radar" ATC unit. Entry/Exit into the control zone is carried out through designated waypoints. Note: In all cases, the controller of the "Radar" ATC unit assigns altitudes in accordance with the table of the "Minimum Safe True Flight Altitudes for ATS Routes and SID" published in Appendix 5 to the Rules for Aircraft Operations in Civil Aviation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

6. Continuous Descent Operation

CDOs are performed during periods of low traffic density at ATC discretion.
CDOs are executed only by ACFT that use standard arrival procedures RNAV1 based on GNSS.
Although these procedures are designed as a closed path, they permit distance planning for CDO, allowing the ACFT Flight Management System/Computer (FMS/FMC) to accurately execute automated optimized descents when:
- ACFT is cleared to proceed to a waypoint or via a combination of waypoints in order to provide an optimum lateral flight path up to and including the FAP and thus the exact distance to the RWY is known prior to start of the continuous descent operation; or
- the pilots of the ACFT that to be vectored to final are provided with distance-to-go information.
CDOs are authorized only when following conditions are respected:
- ILS of RWY intended for landing is in operation;
- no adverse weather conditions that may affect CDO;
- no system degradations that may affect GNSS or ILS operation.
After receiving “WHEN READY DESCEND TO (LEVEL)” or “DESCEND TO (LEVEL) AT PILOTS DISCRETION” clearance the pilot is allowed to plan/optimize vertical profile in order to apply CDO to FAP.
Depending on traffic, CDO may start from TOD or lower levels.
In accordance with appropriate ATC clearances, CDO can start from the TOD when ACFT is cleared to a waypoint or via a combination of waypoints for direct routing/shortcut and the horizontal trajectory is defined up to and including the FAP. Thus, the exact distance to RWY is known and the descent profile can be readily calculated by the appropriate on board system (FMS) prior to start of the CDO.
After clearance “WHEN READY DESCEND TO (LEVEL)“ or “DESCEND TO (LEVEL) AT PILOTS DISCRETION” pilot should maintain the cruising/last assigned level until the optimal descent point/TOD that is determined by pilot or FMS, then start descent with no extra requests unless other ATC instructions are issued.
If necessary ATC may issue additional instructions: “WHEN READY DESCEND TO (LEVEL), REPORT LEAVING (or REPORT TOP-OF-DESCENT)”
Considering airspace structure, ATC issues an instruction to descend to level(s) above level of FAP. Wherein ATC issues further descent instruction prior to CDO flight reaching 3000 feet (900 m) above last assigned level.
After contact with appropriate CTR established, ATC issues approach clearance: “CLEARED ILS APPROACH RUNWAY (NUMBER)”. With this clearance pilot should proceed via cleared waypoint(s) to intercept ILS.
It is preferable if CDO is commenced from top of descent. If it is not feasible due to traffic, CDO may be initiated from any lower level.
As a portion of the procedure consists of vectoring, the specific distance to RWY threshold is not known to a pilot prior to start of the CDO. In such cases, ATC will provide the pilot with an estimate of the flight track-miles to the RWY threshold as distance-to-go information. The pilot will use this information to determine the optimum descent rate to achieve a CDO.
ACFT not exceed IAS 220 knots closer 15 n.m. to RW threshold.

7. Continuous Climb Operation

Continuous Climb Operations (CCO) are conducted along standard instrument departure routes (SID RNAV1) using GNSS. The feasibility of CCO is determined by the ATC based on the current air traffic situation and operational traffic density.

2. Bird concentration near airport.

The intensive flights of flocks of ducks, geese, cormorants, silver and lake gulls, blue pigeon, black and gray crows take place daily during 1-2 hours before and after sunset, when birds fly from the lake (1000 km south-east of the RWY) across the RWY and approach area of RWY 22 and RWY 04 to feeding zones near rivers north and north-west of the airport.

The highest intensity of spring and autumn bird flights are observed in predawn hours. Within 3-4 hours and after sunrise. In the evening, 2-3 hours before sunset, the intensity of the flight increases sharply again and remains high for several hours after dark. In some places, especially in coastal areas, intensive bird flight is observed throughout the night.

Regular bird flights from Lake Maybalyk through the airfield are observed from April till October, around the 215 approach course of RWY22.

An hour or two hours before sunset, birds make a return flight to their resting place. In spring, the majority of birds fly at an altitude of up to 500 m. At the same time, about 20% of birds move at altitudes up to 10 m, from 10 to 50 m – 50%, from 50 to 100 m – 20%, the remaining 10% fly above 100 m.

The main directions of migration in spring are from southwest to northeast; in autumn in the opposite direction. In autumn, a large number of rooks, crows, silver and lake gulls accumulate in the area of the airfield and at the airfield, which pose a great danger to flights from sunrise to sunset.

In case of necessity, the aerodrome control point informs pilots about bird flights and approximate heights above ground level.

At the mentioned above time intervals, if design characteristics of airborne equipment allow, pilots are recommended to switch on landing lights during the flights in aerodrome area, during take-off, approach, as well as climbing and descent.

Bird concentration scattering measures include: periodical deterrence of birds, effective measures regarding to scavering, removal of green plantations and ground covering, termination of agricultural activity within the airport area.
